A corn sheller takes the kernel off the ear of corn. There are hand sized shellers up to industrial sized sheller, they are primarly used to take the kernel off and test for moisture or seed corn. Corn shellers have been around for hundreds of years and can be hand operated or mechanically operated.

A corn sheller is a device that removes the kernels of corn from the cob. How it works is, you would turn a crank-like wheel and toss the corn into the device and it would "shell" the kernels off the cob, you would do this on a continual basis.

What does a corn picker do?

A farm implement that pulls the ears of corn from the stalks and husks. The ears are then passed through a "sheller" which strips the kernels from the cobs. Improvements to the combine (often called a 'harvester") do the jobs of both the picker and sheller with the same machine that is used to harvest wheat and sorghum crops. But, in some specialized farms producing hybrid seed corn, a person will be gathering the ears by hand, so his job description is probably "corn-picker".
